Great website! There was a band called Milkwood that
played at the festival as well, which is not listed. I tried to leave a messsage
on your guestbook but couldn't for some reason. Here are details of the group:

The group recorded an unreleased album for Polydor
Records, produced by Jerry Ragavoy in summer 1969. The band was anglo-Canadian.

Gauthier, Frankel and Geisinger were from the Montreal
scene. Gauthier and Frankel had previously played in a lounge band called
Five of a Kind and worked with King Curtis I believe. Geisinger had worked
with Frankel before that in the Soul Mates (and earlier still Bob & The
Messengers), before joining Influence in late 1966/early 1967 with Louis McKelvey.
He left that band in mid-1969 to join Milkwood when the original bass player
Ronnie Blackwell left to become a Hare Krishna.

Irishman McKelvey and Englishman Tomlinson had met
as members of Jeff Curtis & The Flames, the house band at the famous Ealing
Club in West London in the early '60s where The Stones started out. They did
a demo with Joe Meek.

Tomlinson left this band in 1964 to tour with James
Deane & The London Cats before joining a band called The Noblemen in early
1966. The Noblemen were the house band at the famous Piper Club in Rome for
six months and the returned to England to support visiting soul acts like
Lee Dorsey, The Vibrations, Ben E King, Ike & Tina Turner. Martin Barre
(later of Jethro Tull) was the sax player. In early 1967, they changed name
to The Motivation. Later that year, with various personnel changes, the group
changed name to The Penny Peeps and issued two singles for Liberty Records,
including the excellent Model Village. In mid-1968 they changed name to Gethsemane
and ploughed the blues route. The band split in December 1968 when Barre joined
Jethro Tull. Tomlinson then moved to Canada with McKelvey who had returned
to England in mid-1968 after leaving Influence.

McKelvey stayed with The Flames when Tomlinson joined
The London Cats, but quit in summer of 1965 to travel to South Africa. There
he recorded with The Upsetters and A-Cads before returning to London briefly.
He then moved to Montreal in late 1966 and joined Our Generation (one single)
before forming Influence with Geisinger. Did a great album in New York for
ABC.
